Pasquale Esposito Celebrates Enrico Caruso

This special blends a stunning concert recorded live at the 13th-century Castello Giusso on Italy's Amalfi Coast with travel documentary footage shot in Caruso's Naples and Sorrento as well as the United States. Enrico Caruso was the world's first international recording star, bringing opera to the masses and the street vibrancy of Neapolitan songs to the world. He was the first classical crossover artist, blazing the way for Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Andrea Bocelli, and other great international artists of our time.



I caught some of this the first time,I think. Bits of archive footage and history about Caruso but mostly a concert by a modern day singer from the same background.

====================================


Am I not remembering correctly or was there an Enrico Caruso brand olive oil? Either that or some brand had his bio on the back of the can during some promotion. I remember knowing who Enrico Caruso was at a very young age and I think it was from a food label with his picture and bio.
